[Q] Streak not starting up - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I need some help. My dell streak went berserk today. It started off Force Closing all my apps non stop. I couldnt use it at all. Then after a couple of restarts, it wont even load up anymore.
I have streakdroid 1.9 installed i believe. Its been pretty stable for a while but today...it just went crazy.
What are my options? Can i reflash everything?
Thanks.

Boot into streakmod and clear your cache and then your dalvik cache and reboot. That should take care of your problem.

[Q] I think I screwed something up!

NOt sure how this happened. But Ive had my vibrant rooted and have been installing ROMs since august.
Tonight I was trying to install the Flagship M ROM and I was going from the Trigger 1.2 ROM.
I downloaded the new rom, rebooted into recovery, disabled voodoo than flashed the new rom. Followed the other instructions about wipe/factory reset, wipe cache partition, fix permissions and wipe dalvik cache.
Then I rebooted the phone. At first the phone hung at the Vibrant screen so I pulled the battery and tried to open CMR. Well, thats when my phone just started "flashing" the Vibrant Screen at me. I cant do anything now.
I dont understand what I did wrong. THis is the first time this has happened to me.
Thanks and forgive me for being dumb tonight. Can I fix or am I screwed?
Sorry but you're screwed.
Nah I'm just kidding! The Vibrant is only totally toast when it doesn't do anything, no Vibrant logo, no home buttons lighting up. I had the same problem as you with a Nero flash, I think it was a bad download. Anyways, all you need to do is get into download mode through a variety of methods, and reflash it back to stock using Odin. It's really easy!

Bam! Try that link for starters. And don't worry, you're phones not bricked!
Can you get it in download mode? If you can, Odin to stock. The way i have read your post is that you got into recovery and disabled voodoo and then flashed. Did you reboot after disabling voodoo and let it convert back to rfs? If not that probably was problem. Anyways Try getting in download mode by pulling out battery and sim card. Plug USb cable, hold down volume up and down buttons and while holding buttons put the battery back in.
Phew....I finally got back in download mode. For some reason the drivers werent installed on this machine either, so had to install those as well. But Crisis avoided! Im am currently back to Stock but using my G1 till I can get it rooted and another ROM installed. That might have been the issue with the forgetting to reboot out of recovery when disabling voodoo!

[Q] can not relock phone?

Ok I am a noob but have looked and tried most everything. Here is my problem my photon is crapping out lots of force closes so I tried to root and unlock it which I did. I had no problems with root/unlock so I then tried to install codename android(ice cream sandwhich) and something didnt work. I ended up in a boot loop so I tried to flash back to 198_6 which all went well until the final reboot. I got a failed to boot 4 error and nothing would fix this I ran pudding unlock sbf and it unlocked and the phone booted up.
So here is my problem I can not lock the phone and it boot it always (after at least 10 flashes with all 3 versions of sbf) it will fail to boot error 4 on me everytime but again sbf pudding and its unlocked and will boot up.
I really want to shove this phone down sprints throat with all the problems but I cant with it unlocked.
I have tried downloading the stock recovery and removing pudding and still boot error 4 run pudding in rsdlite and bam unlocked and phone boots up any help would be great. Forgot to add that I did a reset right before I did the no pudding sbf and all my contacts and apps were gone had to setup the phone from scratch after no pudding boot 4 failure ran pudding had to set up phone from scratch all apps and texts were gone but all my contacts are back?
If someone has a step by step on a new op or something to make this phone stable and stop force closing stuff I will take that also as thats my main concern I need the phone to work.
I really dont understand the lingo and what roms and kernels and stuff are so please dumb it down best you can thanks.
I would like to finish with thank you to all who post and the developers you guys rock.
I had the same problem the other day. Download a 2.3.4 sbf and use RSD lite to install it. Problem solved.
After that I used nandroid to put back my old system backup with all my apps and data right where I left them.

You have to wipe your system data and cache prior to flashing one of the sbf's to go back to complete stock. Sounds like your SBFing over your custom rom.

Help!

Hi Guys, I had previously been using resurrection remix rom for a few months, worked fine...
I wanted to go back to stock so i downloaded the latest stock vodafine firmwirm from sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100T&pcode=VAU&os=1&type=1#firmware
EVENTS: I cleared cache and davlik cache and tried doing the process through clockwork recovery, which obviously failed because I forgot that you needed to get into recovery.
So I turned off my phone, loaded the resurrection rom and went back to that.
The next day I reread the procedures and did it properly via recovery through odin, I have tried this with 2 different firmwares and they both finished with a pass but get stuck at the same point.
PROBLEM: It doesn't get past the glowing S logo.. with either firmware, branded or unbranded.
Please helppp!!!!
Bump!
updated, could someone please help
You may have to wipe data/factory reset when downgrading from JB to ICS. Did you do that?

can anyone help?
Boot into recovery, wipe/factory reset ? If you can't manage that Bootloop thread.
Hint - Thread titles like 'Help !' tend to get you the exact opposite of what you're looking for.
Extra hint - That you didn't know how to do a factory reset suggests to me you should read the Guides and learn basics before you end up adding your phone to the Great Wall of XDA.
Hint 3 - Do not bump a thread after 21 minutes ever again. If I catching you doing so, I will make it my life's work to have you thrown off here permanently. People here have lives. There's not 478 people sitting around doing nothing just waiting to answer questions from people who didn't RTFM within 5 minutes of them posting a question :-/ What people like you need to understand is, many people who used to answer questions here have either sold their S2's & moved on (or moved on for various other reasons *cough*). There is simply not the same number of people around to help bozos who get in over their heads.

Please Help!!!!

Only recently, from today i have been experiencing stuck on boot screen problems with a rom, i wiped cache and dalvik, even changed kernel but still stuck, so i wiped data and flashed a new rom. I wiped everything, the first boot worked, i installed my apps then i wanted to flash a file so i rebooted, however my device got stuck on boot screen again. It is always stuck on the Galaxy s 2 screen and every rom i use, if i reboot it will get stuck!!! Im not sure what the problem is and im getting very nervous now. Can somebody please help me or at least tell me what is happening? Thank you
I was using the latest NeatRom Lite when the first bootscreen happened, so i switched to Wanam and now same problem, i even tried booting without my sd card, but still cant boot!
Why on earth did you title your topics as nothing more then "Please Help!!!!" ??
Topic titles are supposed to be descriptive (NOT GENERIC) so that people browsing forum can see what topics are about. Your likely to get less page views and hence less likely to get help if you dont use common sense and title topics correctly.
Try a kernel cleaning script.
Try a rom cleaning script.
Try re-stocking via odin.

[Q] Galaxy Ace: stuck in bootloop for unknown reason?

Hi, all! I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I'm having a hard time trying to understand the different forums.
My Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) running under a custom ROM The Ultimatum (I've been using this custom firmware for a few weeks now, with no real problems up until now), is bootlooping with no apparent reason. On a rare occasion, most apps on the phone stopped responding and would crash upon opening, and would require a restart before they worked again. Well this happened to me a few hours ago, so I decided to reboot my phone. After coming back to check my phone, I had found it was still booting. This has gone on for several hours now, and I've tried turning it on and off, removing batteries and everything. It's stuck in bootloop. I found this was odd, as I have had no dramas with the firmware I've been using. I have not made ANY recent changes to the phone whatsoever, so I can hardly believe it would be my fault.
Now, my question is; how do I fix this without wiping all data and installing a clean ROM? I have a lot of stuff in the internal storage I can't afford to lose, and it's really important to me. A full wipe of all data would not be ideal. I can access recovery mode.
Thanks in advance, and I apologise if this is in the wrong forum!
You might want to ask to the rom thread for some help or ask in this section,
Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Anyway, I will try to help. If your custom recovery is support backup and restore (and advanced restore) your rom (check your custom recovery thread), try to backup your phone rom for now, so you could restore it back when solution not working.
Try to reflash the rom again without wipe data and reboot. If still in bootloop try to wipe data and reboot, see if that phone still bootloop.
If phone is successfully boot, go back to recovery and go to advanced restore, restore only data and then reboot. If still not working, then just full restore back to the phone to state before since I have no idea anymore.
That is the option I only know for now. However, try to ask help on section I link above or the rom thread before try this one, since I only familiar with Galaxy Gio (really similar to Ace) in the past.
I tried what you suggested but no positive results, really. I managed to boot after a full wipe, but restoring data locked it back into a bootloop. I'll try posting it in the other section.
Thanks.
